Not sure, I guess just hitting all of our canal paths.What you trying to do with this bike? Kinda like saying you want a MTB, but you could be doing downhill or riding the greenway on it.
That's what I use my geared HT for.Not sure, I guess just hitting all of our canal paths.
I was considering this too. I have an 2011 GF Mamba. It's not very comfortable, so maybe I can make some changesThat's what I use my geared HT for.
I am also looking for a gravel bike.. well I think I am? What are the advantages of a gravel bike over a road bike with a set of gravel tires? I know the gearing on the gravel bike is 1x, but what are the other differences? Do gravel bikes have a more relaxed geometry? Will a road bike with gravel tires be less comfortable?
I am planning on being homeless for a while and bike pack in my mother land. The roads there are not suitable for a raced-out road bike.
A road bike is made to cruise roads, gravel bike has a bit more relaxed geometry, slacker head angle and has clearance for wider tires. IMO 2x for gravel is more useful. Big ring for flatter gravel sections, small ring for trails. Yes I use it on trails, as long as the trails are not technical, large rocks will destroy tires and rims.I am also looking for a gravel bike.. well I think I am?

Crikey.. I'm so out of the loop and thought 32c was wide. Apparently, gravel tires can be 40c and wider. Didn't know.Most road bikes won't fit a gravel tire. 32c is usually all they'll do.
Some gravel bikes have 650b (27.5) wheels. One keeps popping up on my FB feed is Poseidon Dropbar Redwood which offers gravel bikes in that and 700c wheels. I guess it depends on how much gravel you want to ride on.Crikey.. I'm so out of the loop and thought 32c was wide. Apparently, gravel tires can be 40c and wider. Didn't know.
I almost agree (I struggle to find gravel roads near me). I was really close to getting a Revel Rover gravel bike, but they went full-in on the "gravel" end and the frame is dedicated to a 1x drivetrain. Since I would be riding the bike primarily on the road, a 2x is pretty much mandatory. On my road bikes, I spend the majority of the time in big ring (a lot of my regular route is flat).A road bike is made to cruise roads, gravel bike has a bit more relaxed geometry, slacker head angle and has clearance for wider tires.

Trails that are boring on a mtb are more fun with a drop bar bike. I put a dropper on my gravel bike and enjoy exploring. Since getting my gravel bike last year, my road bike has sat unused.
